Halfway through the NBA regular season this season, the competition in the West is very fierce, and as the Grizzlies beat the Warriors, pulling their opponents down to the top of the Western Conference and winning 10 consecutive games, making the pattern in the West even more chaotic. At present, the Lake people press the Clippers, lone rangers crazy winning streak, Spurs King Rockets and other teams have lost consecutively, and the West has gradually been "cut" into five sections, of which the Warriors Suns lead, the Grizzlies are chasing, the third echelon is a big scuffle, and there are also multiple teams competing for places in the play-offs.
The Sun forces the Warriors to lead;
The top teams in the West are the Suns and Warriors, who beat the Raptors today and re-overtook the Warriors to rise to first place. The Warriors have lost three of their last four games after losing to the Grizzlies today. The top of the Western Conference has been in a "two-man turn" state this season, with the Warriors and Suns almost taking turns to become number one. Both teams have a win rate of over 75 percent, the top in the league, and the Warriors have won 2 of those games in three meetings between them. The Suns are currently the only team in the league to lose in the second single digits, leading the league.
Sir Grizzlies;
The Grizzlies and Jazz have a certain gap between them compared to the Sun Warriors, but there are also teams such as the Lone Rangers and Nuggets behind them. It's no surprise that the Jazz have today, after all, they won the championship last season. The Grizzlies are the biggest dark horse in the West, they have recently won 10 consecutive games, and when facing the Lakers, Nets, Warriors and other favorite teams that are competing for the title, the Grizzlies can always win under Morant. The Grizzlies are full of youth and vitality, and it is likely to go straight to the playoffs and even overturn the pattern of the West.
5-9 big melee;
The current gap between 5th and 9th place in the West is not large, with the Lone Rangers in 5th place with a wave of 6 consecutive wins, and their winning percentage is 55%. The gap between the Nuggets and the Lone Rangers is also not large, and the Lakers are the same city rival Clippers ranked 7th in the West, this season's Lakers have lost 20 games, their win rate is 51.2%, the overall performance is not satisfactory to fans. At the same time, the timberwolves, who were once at the top of the rankings, are also very small between the Los Angeles duo, and they also have the opportunity to impact the playoffs with Downs and Edwards.
4 teams strive for play-offs;
The 10th place in the West belongs to the Blazers, followed by the Spurs, Kings, Pelicans and Thunder, who are not very competitive in the West, but they still have a chance to compete for a play-off spot. This season follows the rules of the previous season, which is that the 7th-10th places in the division play in the playoffs, and it is clear that these teams have the opportunity to appear on the play-off stage at the moment.
Rocket bottom;
The Rockets have lost 11 of their last 12 games, which also put their winning percentage at an embarrassing 26.2%, and the Rockets, which focus on training young players, have not had much pressure on their record this season, and while a wave of 7 consecutive wins has given them hopes of a play-off, the poor performances, as well as 31 losses in 42 games, put them at the bottom of the Western Conference.
